Add a 'Print' button to Safari's bookmarks bar Web Browsers
Mon, Apr 5 2004 at 9:57AM PDT • Contributed by: Anonymous
After reading a previous hint on Internet Explorer and a comment on how safari lacked a print button and remembering the post on bookmarklets I tried the following: copy the following line of script to text edit then drag it to your bookmarks bar (I put it to the far left) to make fast clickable printing...just click it to print 
 javascript:window.print()
Name the bookmark something like "Print" It's simple....but useful (if you like having a print button) enjoy! ob1cannoli@optonline.net

you actually can just copy this text to the Safari Address field, and drag and drop from there (no need in opening a text editor)

Actually I was able to just select the text and drag and drop onto the Bookmarks Bar. The sheet came up to name it, I named it Print.

Seems to work…

I think this is it: javascript:location.href='mailto:?SUBJECT='+document.title+'&BODY='+escape(location.href)

Not quite on the same topic - but type "file://" into a bookmark in the bookmark bar, and then enter the POSIX path to a folder containing a set of Safari scripts that you might wish to use. Call it "Script Menu." When clicked Safari opens the folder in a Finder window. Put this window into "list" mode. Taduh! Script menu for Safari (well almost.)

What would be really useful is a bookmarklet to run the script (as an app) from Safari. Any Javascripters know what to do, or is this a non-starter?

Cmd shortcut for script in a bookmark

Drag the bookmark to the far left (first position) on your bookmark bar. Now type Cmd-1.

Report back on your results ;)

I've tried the button. It does not work for me.

Does it run on Jaguar?

Yes it works in Jaguar. I just copy/pasted it into my address bar and dragged it onto the bookmarks bar. The menu opened up asking what I wanted to name it.

Any way to make a "Print to .pdf" bookmark. Possibly using the title of the page?
Ooooh that would be nice.

I found this hint does not work if you are viewing an image directly like: http://www.skyhound.com/sh/2004_Q2.gif. The Safari browser window became unresponsive, but I could quit it via its menu. It may be that it works when viewing web pages, but not images directly.
